Info on non-vaccinating

I just read another post about information on non-vaccinating. My 5 1/2 month old had a really bad reaction when she had her 2 month shots. I was always told it was against the law to not have vaccinations. If their is anyway for me to get around it I would like too know. I live in Texas, so does anyone know? I mean, I remember when I was in school my sisters couldn't enroll unless their shot records were up to date. Can anyone help me?

I'm in Texas too. We have all 3 exemptions here. My girls go to school on a philosophical exemption. We could also use religious exemptions. Anyway, no it's not against the law to not vaccinate. Don't let anyone ever make you believe it is. We all have the right to choose what we want for ourselves and our children regarding their health and well being. I feel WE unvaccinating parents deserve to be respected.

My children are unvaccinated, your children are vaccinated. So what the hell are you worried about?

They can't make you give your children the flu vaccine. That is against the law. Since the needle breaks the skin it is considered like a surgical procedure and that always comes with a warming of serious injury or death. They cannot force you to do this.

Quoting JenniferLeh:

I don't remember where or when..but I remember awhile back flu vaccines were being mandated. Everyone was required to get flu shots for their kids.

True.

My dd had a rare bad reaction to her 1st set of shots also. We are in Texas and filed an exemption for ds to go to school without being vax'd.
